We offer a wide range of dental treatments from Preventative to Cosmetic Dentistry, Orthodontics and Dental Implants. If any aspect of your dental appearance concerns you, no matter how trivial it may seem, discuss it with us.
Each surgery is equipped with modern equipment and technology to help us diagnose when treatment is required and explain the treatment options to you. We may suggest referral to a particular specialist when we are unable to provide your treatment at the practice.
If the inner part of the tooth, the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected, root canal therapy can remove the affected area and help save a tooth from possible extraction.
Infection of this nerve-filled central part of the tooth can be caused by bacteria entering the usually tough exterior due to deep decay, a crack or because of severe tooth wear.
Step One Initially, we numb the area and use a rubber sheet (or dam) to keep the tooth free from saliva and protect your airway.
Step Two We access to the inside of the tooth and carefully remove the infected pulp. We also shape the canals with tiny instruments and flush them clean with an antibacterial solution.
Step Three We fill the canals with a rubber compound and sealant to ensure that the canal voids are fully obturated to prevent re-infection.
Step Four When the tooth has settled, a permanent filling or crown is placed to keep it safe from further contamination and restore its functionality.
Although root canal therapy is often referred to in a comical way to describe something incredibly painful, it is usually no more uncomfortable than having a conventional filling, as the tooth is fully anaesthetised.
Root canal treatment can be carried out in a single appointment or you may have to visit us more than once. In between appointments, a temporary filling will be placed to cover the tooth to help prevent re-infection.
